Fruiting problems with golden teacher creeper oak ridge

About 3 weeks ago, I started a fc with a casing of oak ridge, a fc with oak ridge brf cakes, a fc with creeper casings and a taz cake, and a fc with gt casing and cakes.
I recently moved all of them into an air conditioned room (70-76 F) because the room they were in was constantly 80-90+ degrees F.
The oak ridge and creeper fruited a couple weeks ago, but low yields and now they're aborting pins.
The gt has not grown fruits at all. The jars were fully colonized and left in the jar too long, about 3 months. Is this why I am having problems?
I mist and fan them 4-5 times a day. There's about 2-3 inches of perlite under them.
Cakes on top of alum and casing in alum pan.
The gt cakes had this magenta pink speckles on them... look kinda like rust but too bright, it's not fuzzy so i don't think it's a contam. I don't have pics, but I dunk and rlld them, now they have sclerotia things that look like they want to be pins but something's not right.
They're all startin to get these white fuzzy blobs of mycelium that are not producing pins, which i have read is due to humidity. I added more sterile perlite to balance humidity. I have an air stone in a jar of water in each one as well, and I am using a full spectrum fluorescent light during the day. Any and all advice appreciated.

Your gt's may have stalled out. Pink specks and white blobby mycelium not pinning sounds like a contam.
What they smell like?

They smell strange, but it is not an overwhelming odor. I have to get real close to smell it. It's not foul and there's no signs of any green/blue or brown or black contam anywhere. Can a contam be there with no signs of it?

Yes. If it smells "funny" be vary wary. You should be smelling fresh mushrooms and that's it.

I took some pictures. Starting to get new pins, but as you can see, some of them are aborting. That's the oak ridge.



The cake in the pic is tasmanian next to creeper casings. I made my own spore syringe and the taz is the only one that grew from the spores i had. You can see the white blobs of mycelium. Don't know why it won't fruit.


 creeper

gt - stalled?

I would like to get more fruits from the oak ridge and creeper, and i would like the tas and gt to actually fruit. If anybody notices anything I did wrong or anything i should change/improve I'm all eyes to read so.

Wow....get rid of the cup and bubbler...that is useless and doing you no good.
Build a proper SGFC out of that for best results.
When you mix teks like that it always ends up the same.

My opinion: Practice CRAFTSMANSHIP in everything you do. No matter what it is from cleaning your toilet to making your casings. Best results are born from a project that was really well thought out and constructed.

You guys seriously need to stop referring to your substrate trays as 'casings'. That is an incorrect term unless all you have is a casing layer and no manure, grains, or anything. Nobody grows mushrooms on 'casings', period.
The casing layer is only the top layer on a colonized bulk substrate, nothing else. 'Casing' sure as hell isn't a name for a mushroom growing project. RR
Just sayin....
